A FOOD CHAIN:
A SERIES OF
STEPS IN WHICH
ORGANISMS
TRANSFER
ENERGY BY
EATING OR
(organisms that feed on and break down dead plants or animals)
TUNDRA EXAMPLE
THE FOOD CHAIN Every living thing needs energy in order to live. Every time animals do something (run or jump) they use energy to do so.Animals get energy from the food they eat, and all living things get energy from food. Plants use sunlight, water and nutrients to get energy (in a process called photosynthesis). Energy is necessary for living beings to grow.
A food chain shows how each living thing gets food, and how nutrients and energy are passed from creature to creature. Food chains begin with plant-life, and end with animal-life. Some animals eat plants, some animals eat other animals.
